giving thanks

the idea of thanksgiving is a little crazy to me. it's like, let's set aside one day out of every year to think about what we're thankful for so that on the other 364 days we can continue whining and complaining and not feel guilty about it. the idea of giving thanks seems kind of too basic to me for there to be a holiday in honor of it. in my world every day is thanksgiving.
there is however, one thanksgiving tradition that i am sooo down with, and that would be the eating. every year i get good and drunkie on the eve of giving thanks because it's not the same without a hangover. i mean, all that butter/gravy/stuffing can be too intense if you're not really craving something good and fatty to soak up an excess of alcohol. plus, when the tryptophan in the turkey mixes with your leftover drunk it's like the nicest, most comfy-cozy laid back feeling you will get all year.
now that is something to be truly thankful for.

love always

I'm definitely down with the, Why only one day of gratitude? thing. Especially living the fattest country ever.

The hangover thing though, ....

I guess I'm just too old and frail for that.

...and hey! Now even turkeys have something to be thankful for on thanksgiving; Tofurkey! ♥♥♥
